Hi group,

I have a strange problem with my new keyboard and I can't solve it.
I would like to work with the F-keys but they doesn't act right. There
is no response when I press any F-key .
When I run "xev" and press F1 I get the following:

#####################################################################

state 0x0, keycode 245 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

and also for F2 I got
#####################################################################
